A Strange Conversion.

BY OGDEN PALMER.
Twas but dirty heap of rags,
Found in mansion hoary:
The workman's face beam'd with delight,
As thus he told the story:
No soul had ever deem'd them worth
The trouble of the taking;
Their simple minds had never thought
Of paper or its making.
The house was bought, the workmen came
New brooms they say sweep cleanlv;
And one there was who had a taste
For pipe and jug most keenly.
So quickly he the rags swept up,
AS pleased rs ass with thistle;
Said he ut least they'll fill pipe,
Or maybe wet our whistle.
The rags were sold and reach'd the mill,
And were in time converted
Into some sheets of paper white,
And it has been asserted
Those very leaves, with sterling truth,
The world made pure and better;
And one of them the workman's heart
Reached in touchii letter.
So from a dirty heap of rags,
Dscayed with age and yellow,
Came the best message of a life,
To this once thoughtless fellow.
For like those rags, he soon became
Changed, purified and brightened:
And ceased to worship pipe and jug,
As he became enlightened.

up to the orbits of the eyes, the hair falls down
quite covering the mouth and chin
